Samantha who had to walk out of Mani Ratnam’s Kadal “due to date hassles” is said to have given Shankar “bulk Tatkal dates” for his forthcoming film with Vikram.

 The film is said to be a typical Shankar lavish entertainer on the “election system in the country”. Like all Shankar films, it will start with a song shoot in Chennai from July 15.

 The film has music by AR Rahman and cinematography by PC Sriram. The untitled film is being produced by Aascar Ravichandran. Samantha is very keen to concentrate and do this film. Of course there will be one more heroine in the film, who will come on board at a later stage. 

Samantha and Shankar had a frank talk and it was decided that she will give “bulk Tatkal dates for the film”. The market buzz is that Samantha will only do this film, and will not take other assignments till Shankar film shoot is over.
